Julaton's comeback vs Segura on GMA-7 bout on GMA-7

MANILA, Philippines - Ana Julaton’s recent victory over Yolanda Segura will be aired on GMA Channel 7 this Sunday at 11:05 a.m.

The 31-year-old Fil-Am, dubbed as “The Hurricane”, pulled off a successful comeback against Segura, who came into the fight with an impressive ring record of seven knockouts in eight wins, in a match billed “Laban ng Lahi presents Bagyo Sa Mexico 2: Ana Julaton versus Yolanda Segura.”  

Segura, 25, failed to impose her will and lost the 10-round fight behind. The female Mexican boxer was also fined one fourth of her earnings for weighing four pounds heavier than the set weight limit.

Julaton, meanwhile, turned in an impressive performance in the second sequel of her three-fight deal with GMA Network. 

The first Filipina boxer to bag several world titles and make it to the list of 100 Most Influential Filipinas in 2009, with a score card of 10 wins, one knock out, and three losses, Julaton thus re-staked her claim as one of the best female fighters.

“We all learn as we go and that will not happen again,” Julaton said in reference to her loss via unanimous decision to Yesica Marcos of Argentina last March.

 “This is all about winning. I owe my Filipino fans around the world the title back and that is my mission.”
